My imported objects distort when I rotate them

I'm importing objects from illustrator into After Effects, but when I rotate them they distort. I also noticed that the anchor points for my objects are way off, but readjusting those anchor points doesn't help to alleviate the rotation problem.
I'm usig the CS3 suite, if that helps.

I'd guess that you're working in a non square project. I'd also guess that you have some square pixel images that are being interpreted as non square.
Please give us the specs of your project so that we can help you. There's about a zillion combinations that can cause problems, but they all go away if your footage is interpreted at the pixel aspect ratio that it was created in.

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • Why are my photographs losing resolution when I rotate them

    Most of the photographs are in portrait orientation, and for some reason the camera(canon 6d) stopped detecting it, so they are stored as landscape.. So I need to rotate them in Lightroom. The rotation causes them to look reaaly low resolution. This does not happen in other editing softwares.

    Rotating in LR doesn’t change the underlying image data, it is just a flag that says to display the data differently, but when you rotate the photos, the preview would need to be redone, and a low-resolution preview is the initial one you’d see until LR has a chance to compute another one, which is typically immediately. 
    If previews are not getting recomputed immediately, then your computer may be busy doing something else, or there could be a problem with your previews cache, or with LR, itself.  You can force previews to be recomputed by selecting the photos and then choosing Library (module) / Library (menu item) / Previews / Build Standard-Sized (or 1:1) Previews.  Try this and see what happens.
    What happens in Develop when you adjust something with one of these rotated images, does the preview become sharp after a few moments?

  • The sound of podcasts are distorted when I download them to my ipod touch.  How do I fix/ prevent this?

    The sound is fine on my computer, but when I sync them with my ipod they are distorted.  Why?  How do I fix this?

    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod yet to see if that helps?
    What about a restore?

  • Why are my photos jarbled/color-distorted when I pull them into Photoshop?

    DETAILS:
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.
    Photos were captured on my iPhone 5 and captured through Image Capture.
    PROBLEM:
    I dragged two photos into a Photoshop file.  The first one imported fine.  The second one came in distorted (see below).  It seems to be a corrupted version of the first photo I dragged in, that is underneath it.  When I saw the problem, I deleted the corrupted photo layer and tried to drag it in again, and it did the same thing.
    Then I realized I really liked the effect it was creating.  Every time I would transform (command T) the corrupted layer, it would redistort, with different patterns and colors (see below).  I kept doing it, trying to create different patterns.
    Eventually, the photo imported correctly, and I couldn't get the issue to reoccur.
    QUESTION:
    How can I recreate this effect?  Is there a way to corrupt/distort the colors like this intentionally?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • After installing iTunes 10.5 all my mp3s in the playlist are distorted when i play them

    After I updated my iTunes Version to 10.5 everything seems to be alright, but when i played a song from my libary it sounds very distorted.
    This is only with my Mp3 files. When I played a .m4a file everything is alright and like the time before.
    So what could I do?
    I reinstalled my iTunes, Quicktime etc. and checked my audio device + reinstalled the audio driver.
    Nothing happens and the problem is still present.
    Thanks!

    System restore  did put back my previous version of Itunes, but I couldn't open it due that my library file was made by Itunes 10.5.  So, I uninstalled Itunes usingthe Control Panel's Remove Program, but that didn't delete everything, so I had to manually delete Itune files.  Then I weny to cnet.com to install aprevious version of Itunes. I had to build my library from scratch.

  • Photos distorted when imported in Leopard, yet ok in Tiger - why??

    I use a Powermac G5 dual processor (non-intel), and find that any photos I import are distorted when viewed or printed. Yet if I boot from an external HD with OS X 10.4 those same photos are fine, and remain so even after restarting from the Powermac HD and viewing them within the external HD.. Reading some other posts it seems that OS X 10.5 may have been corrupted by an update at some point - any help or advice on this would be appreciated!

    I would agree, I don't think it's an iphoto issue at all, I dont use that application to any great extent and regardless of the application used the photos are distorted.
    I have tried a full re-install of OS X 10.5 but no change. I needed more disk space so have now got a larger HD to install, but I wonder if re-installing while preserving the user settings etc is part of the problem (which was the approach I took)? Im reluctant to do a fresh install mainly because I don't know what would be involved once the system is reinstalled!

  • Line size changes when using Rotate??

    Hello:                                                                           Level: Newbie OS: Windows 7 64bit
    So, I have been using the Line tool and then Grouping two Lines and then using the Object > Transform > Rotate
    The lines I draw are 0px wide and 22px high but when I Rotate them around the circle the Line sizes change ... ??
    Say the two lines are Grouped and the first set is 276px the next set becomes say 276.346 and then 275.582 and 198.682 and so on ...
    I have gone into the Tranform pallette to see if there is something I should be checking but it doesn't seem as though I am missing anything to the best of my (limited) knowledge.
    I have also tried the manual and looked for something like: "why line size would change on rotate" and I've looked under Transform and Rotate but I haven't had any luck.
    As always ... Thank you so much for your time

    OMG! LMAO!! I am literally laughing my _ _ _ off!!
    Sooo Sorry, did i forget to mention that I am dyslexic?? wasn't trying to be cunning ... lol
    Also, and ... Pleeeeease Forgive Me for this ... I didn't take into account that you would actually check the 276.346 ... etc. in my first post ... thought I had mentioned those were just "examples" ... seems It didn't make it from my head to the keyboard to the post
    I just pulled those number outta that thing I'm laughing off ... and now between the tears of laughter I am feeling Super Bad for not considering that those numbers would matter all that much ... I swear ... I'm not usually this numb!
    So, I spoke to someone at Adobe today and it seems as though I am not Aligning things correctly.
    I'm just getting back home again and I'm going to give the tut a go again.
    I'm using CS6 .... have I also mentioned this is my first Illustrator attempt?
    Below is the compass I made in two days ... it's missing the last two steps. I'm also stuck on that dang "Glossy" thing but hey, that's an other post for me to lead you all astray on
    My head has been a bit in the clouds this past week ... so,  I am sorry for that and certainly do Very Much Appreciate Your Amazing Vigilance w/All My Heart!!
    I just cannot give up. I'm not a quitter. I believe I ought to brush up on my (p. poor) math skills as well as sitting down to read the manual front and back before an other tut attempt.
    Thank you again for Everything!! I'll be back to let you know how it goes.
    The inner circles and increments don't look right to me

  • CD distorts when played/ripped.  Is my external Apple CD drive faulty?

    I'm using iTunes 11.1 on a late 2012 iMac. 
    There's no CD drive so I use an external Apple CD drive via a USB port. 
    I have just tried to import a CD and found that all the tracks are heavily distorted when I play them back.  This is the first time this has happened.  I played the same CD on my hi fi and it sounds fine.  If I play the CD via iTunes and the external Apple CD it also sounds distorted.  The CD is part of a double CD album.  The first disc sounds fine on the external Apple CD and has ripped with no sound problems.
    Is this a fault with the external Apple CD drive?  Should I try and replace it?
    It seems strange that, so far, this has only occurred with one CD.  I have ripped plenty of other CDs with no similar issues.
    What do you advise?

    got it. Just had to reboot with the CD drive connected (duh), then patchburn was able to locate it and installed it. It's working at least for iTunes. We'll see if I can upgrade to Snow Leopard when it comes tomorrow.

  • How do i control my object effects when i use a button?

    I want to use a button so when I click on it a square rises up from the bottom of my slide.  What I'm finding is by the time I click the button to make the square visible its effect has already loaded with the slide so you don't get to see the squares effect working, how do i pause the effect of the square until I have pressed the button?  Should I just make the button jump to a duplicate slide so the effect hasn't loaded if so this will be a pain when I have several buttons on the slide that I want to make objects move when i click them?

    Hello,
    Nothing to do with button becoming inactive, really, but with the way the Effects are scripted. Will try to answer your question about the buttons however.
    I'll try to explain the functionality of a button.  A button typically has a pausing point that is visible on the timeline, right? The portion before the pausing point is the 'active' portion, which will mean that the user can click on the button and this will have results. When you click on a button, the action attached as Success action is triggered, in this example the Text Caption is set to visible. But at the same time the playhead is released and moves beyond the pausing point into the Inactive portion, which means that it cannot be clicked again.
    Two possible solutions:
    use a rollover caption instead of your click/text captions work flow.
    Create a small advanced action BtShow1 and BtShow2 for each of the buttons, again I have screenshots ready but they are not accepted, bummer.... Will try to write the statements:
    Show Text_1      for the first button, shows the correct Caption
    Hide Text_2       hides the other caption that could have been shown by the other button
    Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame            this expression puts back the playhead directly before the pausing point so that button remains active
    You can duplicate this action to create Btn2, and you only have to reverse the ID's of the Text Captions
    When you attach those actions to the buttons, you can click as many times as you want. You tell that you have searched the forums? Bit strange because I have been explaining this so many times, and blogged about this kind of micro-navigation (frame by frame):
    Micro-navigation in Adobe Captivate
    Lilybiri
    PS: when updating, I can insert one image, will try to add the other one, in a second update perhaps

  • Imported objects not visible

    Hi,
    We have to import some namespaces from one XI server to another.
    when i try importing into the target server i get information that the import was successful but i cannot see the imported objects.
    When i use the <b>find transports</b> option to view the objects that were imported im am able to see all my design objects.
    The cache notifications also indicate that the transport was successful.
    Am i missing out on something? What could be the possible reason for this behavior?
    One more thing clarification i want, is regarding exporting namespaces.
    is it possible to export individual namespaces?
    Im posting this question because even when i chose to export individual namespaces rather than the SWCV itself , still we got the entire SWCV and not the individual namespace.
    Please give your inputs regarding this.

  • Why can I not rotate and re-save iPhone photos once I import them to my PC? They are not being saved into a Read-Only folder. And why can't I open them or save them when I email them to myself?

    Hi I'm having trouble with the photos from my iPhone.
    When I import them to my PC, it won't let me rotate them and re-save them. It says that there is a problem with the file's properties or they may be in a read-only folder. The latter is not the case.
    I have tried opening them in several programmes but Windows Photo Viewer is default
    Also when I email them to myself I can't open them or save them down to my computer.
    Is there a setting on my iPhone that I should change that is impacting on the photo's file properties? This has only just started happening.
    Thanks!

  • Why do my Illustrator Smart Objects distort in PS when I press Apple T?

    Hi All,
    I am placing a linked Illustrator file onto a Photoshop document.
    I position the smart object and pressed enter.
    Then I decide I would like to further enlarge and rotate the smart object slightly. When I press Apple T (to transform) it juest distorts.
    Why is this happening please?
    Correct image:
    Distortion when I press Apple T to enlarge or rotate object slightly
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    It seems the object scales to fill the art board it contains. Cropping the art board to the artwork bounds solves this problem.
